I enjoy working with children. Directing children is both easy and challenging. Plus, it's important to be patient with them
— Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, director of Naal 2
I was very young when I got my first National Award for Naal. This time, I truly understand the significance of this honour. This award is not just mine, it's a reward for the entire team and my parents, who have been a constant support throughout the journey
— Shrinivas Pokale, actor, Naal 2
I am extremely happy as a father. Kabir may not understand how big this moment is right now but I am sure he will in time. I have closely witnessed how hard he worked to bring this character to life
— Shashi Khandare, director of Gypsy and Kabir Khandare's father
While it's encouraging to see national recognition, these awards also highlight the struggle to attract audiences to theatres. I believe Marathi cinema isn't lacking in content or technical quality, but we need to reflect on why it's not working commercially

Last Updated: Vijay Deverakonda was questioned by the ED over illegal betting endorsements. Ajaz Khan's bail plea in a pornography case was rejected. Actor Vijay Deverakonda, who is enjoying the success of his new film Kingdom, has been called in by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning. This is part of an ongoing investigation into celebrity endorsements of illegal betting platforms. Vijay reached the ED office in Basheerbagh, Hyderabad, around 11 am on Wednesday. Officials are reportedly asking him about his promotional deals with betting apps and the money he received for them. A Delhi court has rejected actor Ajaz Khan's request for anticipatory bail in a case involving the alleged online sharing of pornographic content. The Tis Hazari Court refused to grant him temporary protection from arrest, stating that his custody was necessary to help investigators collect key digital evidence related to the case. Tensions flared at the Maharashtra State Film Awards on Tuesday evening after two men interrupted the event to protest the upcoming Marathi film Khalid Ka Shivaji. The protest took place just as Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was preparing to speak on stage. Malayalam actress Shwetha Menon has been named in a case filed by the Ernakulam Central Police in Kochi, following allegations that she appeared in obscene films and advertisements for commercial gain.
